Fibromyalgia is a complex, full-body condition — widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and brain fog all interacting with each other. There is no single fix, but a structured physiotherapy program can shift the dial in a meaningful way.
At Omega Physiotherapy & Rehab, the foundation is graded exercise. Patients with fibromyalgia often experience post-exertional flares, so the dose has to be carefully titrated — starting much lower than seems reasonable, and progressing only as the nervous system tolerates it.
Layered on top of that, we use gentle manual therapy, acupuncture and dry needling for symptom modulation, breathwork and pacing strategies, and education about pain neuroscience. Most patients are surprised at how much pain levels respond when the nervous system feels safer.
We work alongside your family physician and any rheumatologist or pain specialist involved in your care. Fibromyalgia is best managed by a team, and physiotherapy is one of the most underused tools in that team.
